Yesterday when I left supercheap, Just after I started my 08 fg xr6t it said on the dash cluster (dimmer light fault). Car ran fine, figured I'll ring ford today. Left supercheap and went to my inlaws place for half an hour. When I was leaving car tried to start but it just stopped. It then said on the dash Car immobilised, now car won't even turn over. I disconnected the battery for 10minutes. Tried again but same thing but it also says on the ICC screen security system failure. WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked it up mid august. Got car back from ford today, It was a loose wire on the control module. Is good now. Ford did annoy me with all the questions. Felt like I was being interogated by the 5 0 lol. What mods have you done? Has any of ya mates done anything to it? are you sure??? blah blah blah.

The 12 month thing was referring to the battery as that's all they are warranted for...but turns out it was something else so it's all good. Was it towed to the dealer?

Mechanic jump started it and we drove it to the dealer. When we go there they had a battery and mechanic there waiting.Replaced battery free of charge with no questions asked except for the trouble shoooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
